They're helpful and I'll come back with more comments after reading some of them.

You probably already know this but these are where a tutor has re-constructed their course experience and structure etc. They then reflect upon the significance of certain moments and the thinking behind certain design decisions. The most significant aspect of some of this is that the course portfolio is made into a publically available online document and thereby making the knowledge available to others. Notionally, those others could organise discussions around these course portfolios too. cheers for now, Nick Hi Vic,

I suppose I'm not talking about a designer who controls a community through its design; rather someone who initiates or facilitates one. The space is sort of incidental, isn't it? But the values, climate, procedures and processes might be central? Vic Hi Nick,

Yes, I agree, it is the responsibility of both the learner and the tutor. Developing that idea a bit further, it occurs to me that both the 'learner' and the 'tutor' are learning in some situations. Similarly, both are tutoring, in 'some' situations. I guess that takes us towards a notion of some sharing of responsibility for design. The second thought I had was that the person who initiates the design might, in some contexts, have primary responsibility. At least for the early life of the design anyway. What do you think?
